It amazes me how little strategy has been articulated for the Libyan no-fly zone. Bush at least fed us the pretense of WMDs for Iraq; Obama hasn't even bothered to explain why we're intervening in Libya and not in Bahrain, Yemen, et al.
I can understand the humanitarian impulse, but a little consistency would be nice.
